Condolence Messages

Sending my heart felt condolences to Faron’s family & teammates. Faron was a great fastball player. He was one of my first native friends. He was always a good sport whether he won or lost. My pleasure being on the same all-star teams with Faron more than once. He was one tough guy to get out & could lay down a bunt like no other & a pure hitter. He was an inspiration to a lot of his people. God bless you Faron & R.I.P. #9 will never forget you…

On behalf of my daughter and grand daughters we all send our most sincerest condolences to Fonda, Jonie, Emily, Chanelle, Sader and grandchildren and Faron’s brothers and sister….God Bless you all and be with you in your time of need…take care
